Immigration and Protection Tribunal appeal record

22 published decisions of the Immigration and Protection Tribunal (and its predecessor boards) record Yaoming Gong as representative for the appellant. Success rates say as much about which cases a professional takes on as about their work — compare them with the all-appellant rate for the same appeal type, and read the decisions themselves.

Showing the 15 most recent of 22 decisions; the totals above cover all of them.

This record may be incomplete. Tribunal decisions usually name the representativeby initial and surname only — “J Bloggs” rather than a full name. Where that could point to more than one person on the register, we leave the decision out rather than risk crediting it to the wrong practitioner, so a practitioner may have appeared in more decisions than are shown here. If appearances of yours are missing, tell us on the corrections page and we will verify them against the published decisions and update the profile.

Compiled from decisions published on the Ministry of Justice tribunal decisions database. A decision is attributed only when the representative named in it matches exactly one person on the relevant register (or the firm named in the decision confirms the match); self-represented appellants and uncertain matches are excluded, so this may undercount. Percentages are shown only where at least 5appeals in that category were decided — below that the counts are given on their own, because a single case would swing the figure. “Other” includes referrals to the Minister, withdrawn appeals and jurisdiction decisions.
